MAKETOYS

I like both.
They give me different feelings :
- TFC combine mode is massive and bulky.
We have here a terrible Devastator who can crush everything.
Each bots are well design but a little bit squarish.
IMO, alt modes are a little bit futuristic :
shapes are far from 20st century (far from a G1 Devastator)
But it's okay, it's a design choice from TFC.
Adding tab everywhere on shapes is really cool : A lot of possibilities to swap parts...
This is a toy, enough strong for a kid who want to play with it
(with a dad standing behind and crying each time
Hercules is crashing a G1 joe vehicule with it's body).

- Maketoys Giant is much a collector piece : as I said before,
it's perfect for those who allready have the 2 Fansproject Crossfire sets.
Design of mechas is respectfull of Transformers spirit, very dynamic : the attitude is strong, sharp...
Alt modes are very compact : MT brings us smart transformations with ingenious mechanisms
for vehicules very contemporary (G1 feeling on top).
...
So I like both versions : MT Giant is "comfortable", giving a true Transformers feeling,
a great reboot of G1 Devastator.
TFC Hercules is more impressive : because of size and dimensions of each of its members (bulky !).
It looks less "fragile" (and it is) and match perfectly for this terrible TF character.
For sure, the MT G1-green set will help to compare bothe figures.

Ah. Thanks for your opinion. So basically both are very good products, and nothing can go wrong if a fan choose to buy either one of these two, or even both.

Compared to TFC Hercules, anything will look tiny ;D

I notice that the Maketoys Set 2 is sold out in Upgrade Commander, so I had to make my order for Set 3 today. Hopefully it will show up within one week :).

Additionally, Maketoys decided to give red eyes to all the individual components (not pictured here).

^ Good for you for suggesting to them. I hope they make an updated crane for the yellow version.

On the photos I just posted, the rage face head does not seem so bad...
